Translation
In 2007, the 50th anniversary of the 'Treaties of Rome' was celebrated. What was the content of the treaties?
- A Germany's accession to NATO
- B Establishment of the European Economic Community (EEC) ✓ Correct answer
- C Germany's obligation to pay reparations
- D Establishment of the Oder-Neisse line as the eastern border
Explanation
The Treaties of Rome (1957) established the European Economic Community (EEC) and Euratom, marking a major step in European integration that later evolved into the European Union. They were not about NATO membership, war reparations, or border definitions.
Tips
- Look for historical keywords: “Römische Verträge” and the year 1957 are tied to the beginnings of the EEC/EU. Eliminate options linked to different timelines: NATO was founded in 1949, border issues like the Oder–Neisse line were settled in the immediate post-WWII context, and reparations relate to postwar agreements rather than European integration treaties. In EU-related questions, think about milestones: ECSC (1951), Rome (1957), Maastricht (1992).
